I've always thought these were the prettiest headphones.. I haven't heard them I just know that they're "more" Grado the more you spend heading up to the RS-1... but what is the consensus on these?
I've always disregarded this model due to the bad voodoo but I've recommended it whenever it fell into someone's price budget always just because I like what the other models sound like, and for the most part every single person who's ever gotten them has been happy...
So what do you owners of these headphones actually have to say about it compared to the others?
From what I can tell a good amount of people believe the treble to be super bright and harsh to this due to the aluminum chambers, but how is this possible when the HP1k and PS-1, and other aluminum bodied brethren have all been home runs and grail headphones for many?
My current Grado lineup:
SR-60 silver recabled
SR-80i stock (reference prestige series)
SR-225 recabled
Magnum V4 in RS-2i cups silver recabled
Stock RS-2i (my reference Grado)
Would an SR-325 fit in here somewhere? I see them for like 200 bucks sometimes, especially since the goldies happen to be my favorite ones. I could get rid of some stuff if it displaces anything.
I keep getting these things as giveaways from people as payment haha
I've been told I could just buy an LCD-2 if I got rid of this stuff which I'm sure could be better but ergonomically it sort of failed me and it's rather large LOL
